If the 1% makes all the difference though, doesn't that break math and enter philosophy space?
Why does 0.005 + 0.005 = 1%?

In decimals, 1% is written as 0.01 (because 1 divided by 100 = 0.01).

If you split that 0.01 into two equal parts, you get 0.005 + 0.005.

So when someone says “0.005 and 0.005,” they’re adding up exactly 0.01, which equals 1% in total.

From what I understand, that’s how it works.

Yes, the math is right, but the 1% in question isn't 0,005 of Memory and 0,005 of Body. Its a composite of all other apostle traits outside of Body and Memory grouped into a single value. 0,001 from Authority, 0,001 from Power, 0,001 from Time etc etc. rounded up to 0,01.

I apologize if I made it sound confusing.

And yet, due to that 1%, MC faces 99% of his problems. Explain that in math please.

Honestly, now that I think about it, it's a clever way to justify how in MC you can connect with the path of all the apostles. I wonder if [WeirdWorld] had it planned all along.

MC’s trait split — 50% in one, 49% in the other — leaves him stuck in no-man’s-land: not a true master of either. In my opinion, if he wants to reach the top, the smartest move would be to obtain the power of the eye, which is tied to the Evolution trait — a trait MC doesn’t have yet, but could potentially acquire.

Yeah bro, no worries, it makes sense. Each apostle counts as one. If we remove Memory and Body, we’re left with 10 apostles — five on each side. That gives us 0.005 + 0.005 = 1%.

I'm going to be honest, the way you type has got me genuinely tweaking. Why do you type like that? My autistic ass feels like I'm experiencing gradually increasing severities of ragebait just looking at it. If you're going to have a typing quirk like you're one of those trolls from Homestuck, it at least has to be consistent.

Who are you talking to, me?"

Yes. I genuinely want an answer; keep it brief since it's off-topic.
"I don't understand what you mean by Homestuck. But if you notice that I write weird, it's because I don't speak English—I just type what I want to say and an AI translates it into English. If you want to help improve the translation, you'd have to tell me what exactly sounds weird or what part looks like a troll typing style."

Ah, so it's because of a translation software. And Homestuck's an old web series. The trolls, a species in the series, tend to all have unique typing quirks, like using all caps or inserting cat puns everywhere or replacing certain letters with numbers. Your constant use of bold text in quotes when no one else here does that unless actually quoting some in-game text reminded me of it.
